Jim Ratfink was quite casual about saying we'd be footing the bill for it when he first brought up a new stadium last year We already paid for West Scam's stadium, Jim, so **** right off
I like how the design concept keeps with the general theme of the circus. Just need Maguire riding around the center circle on a little clown car at half time to complete the image. please log in to view this image
The outside facade looks stupid IMHO (classic Norman Foster types) , but the "business end" seems ok. I do note that there seems to be a price to pay for trying to keep the stands pitch-side while having very large capacity (the upper tier gets quite vertical indeed) .
I’ve only been to Old Trafford once and I felt that it was vertical enough and high then. This does look too high but maybe not as bad in person as in photos
